Madhukar Redkar
Senior citizen
Yes. I think unaffordable homes are driving people away from Mumbai. People are opting for other cities or staying back in their own home towns.
Ram Tiwari
Sales executive
Yes. The cost of accommodation, even on rent, has gotten very high and it has affected the population of the city.
Rajesh Bawkar
Estate agent
No. I don’t think it has had much of an effect, as people who want to settle down in the city are still coming in.
Bharat Bhalekar
Marketing executive
No. People stay far from the city limits, but working avenues are still better here. They are just moving into surrounding areas.
Anand Pandey
Banking services
Yes. The mind-set of people has changed due to soaring accommodation cost.
